In the silver-green vortex of pure-blood supremacy, she was a thorn that he could not tame, and he was a brand that she could not break free from.
Ethel Greengrass, the little girl of the Greengrass family with unique green hair like magic vines, was locked by a pair of ice-hardened gray-blue eyes on her first day at Hogwarts. Draco Malfoy, the arrogant platinum heir, saw her as a novel prey to break the silence of Slytherin. A first encounter on a train full of gunpowder destined their tit-for-tat trajectory.
When the shout of the Sorting Hat sent her to Slytherin, it was not only the expectations of the pure-blood family that were torn apart, but also Draco's arrogance in controlling the chess game. Ethel's stubborn edge beneath her seemingly soft appearance was like a thorny emerald vine, piercing Draco's contempt time and time again. From the verbal exchanges in the bathroom to the open confrontation in the Potions class, from the danger warning in the cold corner to the fatal temptation in the Room of Requirement - every confrontation is a fierce collision of arrogance and sharpness, and every approach is filled with the dangerous atmosphere of cedar and potions.
However, the shadow of Slytherin was far more terrifying than the House War. The looming Dark Mark on Draco's pale arm, the strange parchment hidden late at night, the secret of the rusty smell in the air... The undercurrent of Death Eaters is surging underground in Hogwarts. The strand of cold platinum hair accidentally pulled off by Ethel is not only proof of the confrontation, but may also become the key potion fuse to uncover the dark conspiracy.
She is the emerald thorn eager to break free from the ancient shackles, and he is the platinum snake trapped in the darkness. ?
